Gospel Love is narrative theology; consequently, a word about my approach narrative theology is in order. There is more to story than just story; there is more to narrative theology than narratives. Narrative theology is not to be confused with the art of telling stories that one might acquire in a creative writing course for the preparation of homilies; rather, it is a Christian anthropology which is primarily concerned about our learning to know God, in the biblical sense of a covenant love relationship, through participation in the life of the crucified and risen Christ and his covenant community.
